Thanks! I knew it was in there somewhere...

I was helping our new treasurer with income and expense reports and discovered that some of the designated contributions were inadvertently set up to go to balance sheet/asset accounts rather than the associated income accounts. I'm working on getting them adjusted so that the income/expense report ...

Thank you Neil, that is what I think too on the branch personnel. And then when I asked if they had preformated deposit slips I could order and print they insisted the only thing available is the old fashioned book which we already have- it was like I was in a 1980's time warp. SInce my wife verifie...

Hello Again Neil, after all this time I finally have some offering counters willing to learn how to streamline the contribution entry and deposit, hooray. Entering contributions with the check reader is going great, but our bank (Truist) rejects the Quick Books slips I ordered from Advantage Laser P...

I searched but could not find the right words to ask. Is it possible to print a check to a vendor without an amount, like when we need to bring a signed check with us to pay an unknown amount? Today's scenario: I have to go to the city and apply for a permit, but the fee amount will be unknown until...

Nevermind, I got it and am posting in case someone finds this in a future search.

I just had to assign a drive letter to it, and I KNEW that. D'Oh!

I'm responding to this ancient thread because we are in the same situation, version 12. Sunday afternoon our finance folks said they could not access PowerChurch so on Monday I found that our Dell server circa 2007 is not booting up at all. Since PowerChurch is the only thing we've been using it for...

We are revamping our accounting and contribution process and have not been printing contribution reports in the past 4 years since I've been here but will be now.. When we select preformatted deposit slip, the information printed does not seem to be what we can use. Is there a FAQ or help topic that...

I would just setup a separate Accounting Fund, use a different Asset number (normally the checking is 1110-000) I'd use 1120-000 for the new one. Then I would setup Donor Restrictions for all those different areas using the Donor Restriction Assistant. It will guide you through creating an income, ...

The previous finance director did not properly account for restricted funds which led to the issues.

To assure our members, we did indeed open a secondary checking account for all designated funds.

We are revamping our chart of accounts and seeking to streamline some of our reporting, and have various designated funds with their own non-budgeted expenses (food pantry, health ministry, flowers, etc). Unfortunately our former director of finance co-mingled general and designated funds and used u...

All set again.
fwiw I'm using Office 2010 and when I exported the Access database to Excel '97 format PowerChurch continued to populate the fields with only the first characters.

I exported it instead to '95 format and it imported no problem.

Thanks Neil, that's perfect. I have not done any more than add users and permissions and I can easily re-create that. I'm trying to follow the attached format for importing data. What I had done was export it from Access as a .xls file, but I did not open it in Excel and be sure it would be exported...

No, I'm not just mad at them. :x I'm setting up a new installation of PowerChurch and our current member list is in an Access Database. I modified it to match the field order needed and exported it as an Excel spreadsheet. When I imported it, it only imported the first character in each field so I w...
